Let’s Celebrate National Chocolate Cake Day!

Saturday, January 27 is a day definitely worth commemorating! It is National Chocolate Cake Day! You don’t need an excuse to indulge — even if it isn’t anyone’s birthday, anniversary or wedding day, go ahead and celebrate!

Fun Facts

Did you know that…

In America, chocolate was consumed primarily as a drink until the mid-19th century.

The earliest chocolate cake recipe found in the US was published in 1847 in The Lady’s Receipt Book by Philadelphia cookbook author, Eliza Leslie.

The first recipe called for chopped chocolate — not something we are used to today.

A company called O. Duff and Sons created the first boxed cake mix in the late 1920s. Betty Crocker didn’t produce their first dry cake mix until 1947.

But isn’t chocolate cake really fattening?

As you know, we strive to provide you with healthy alternatives to traditional recipes. Of course, that means we found a chocolate cake recipe that contains no processed sugar, butter or oil but is uber-yummy anyway! And of course, it will taste even better if you maintain great oral hygiene and clean your tongue with your TUNG Brush and Gel every day!
